| 10 | **Current state and gaps** |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Many services in ONAP use password based authentication. Eg: Database servers, publish/subscribe brokers etc. |
| 13 | Passwords are stored in plain text files in many services. |
| 14 | With multiple instances of these services, the attack surface area becomes very big. |
| 15 | Hence there is a need to ensure that attack surface related to password exposure is reduced. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | **Requirement:** |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Need for Secure Secret Management. |
| 20 | Services are expected to get the secret only on needed basis using secret reference and remove the secrets once they are used up. |
